I love the green machine, but I found a recipe and its not hard to make these if you have a blender.-Greens (escarole, spinach, kale, seaweed, you get the point)-Distilled water-Yogurt (flavored if you prefer)-berries (frozen or fresh)-honeyBlend and drink.

I work in a produce dept and I hear the "it's too expensive line all the time. Here's the deal: firstly... since there are no preservatives it has to be shipped from the plant straight to the chains f.d.c. (food distro), or a small d.c. for convience stores etc. Compare to Nabisco etc. who can ship to a holding area at a warehouse and then to dc's as needed in very large batches. Half the Naked would expire by then. This increases the price to the retailer, which is reflected to you, also consider that the price is inflated because you inevitably will have to throw some away when it hits date on the shelf, prices are set to offset this loss, allowing full shelves all the time. Bolthouse is good... however... naked seems more consistent from batch to batch, sometimes bolthouse will get funky variations in flavor, especially the berry ones Vanilla Chai roks though. I drink them the day they go out of date, my boss lets me snatch em up before they get thrown out. 1 a day, almost every day.

I tried two of the Bolthouse drinks...Vanilla Chai and Mango Vitamin C Boost. The vanilla chai is pretty tastey. The Mango one was kind of odd to drink. It is very thick. Also...I had the Red Machine and Gold Machine over the weekend. The Gold Machine is pretty good. The Red is ok. So out of the four machine flavors they have I would rate them as follows.
